Heya! Really appreciate the vid!! We are painting our bottom Kitchen cabinetry 'vintage vogue' by Benjamin Moore and were thinking 'Ecru Half' for the top cabinets and Ecru Quarter for the walls throughout the townhouse in general. Its a centre townhouse so theres not much natural light. Would love your thoughts/recommendations. Thanks again and subscribed :)

@@Zacharyyyy89 Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’m really glad you found my video helpful. Are you located in Australia? I ask because Benjamin Moore is an American brand, while Ecru is a Dulux color commonly used here in Australia. I do have a Benjamin Moore color chart and would be happy to check the undertones for you. Could you also let me know the color of your stone in the kitchen? That will help me provide a more tailored suggestion. Thank you!

@HomeColorTipsAndIdeas were in Australia but managed to find an imported for Benjamin Moore as we couldn't find a colour we liked as much as Vontage Vogue. I've just been informed by my wife the top cabinets are actually currently going to be ecru and the walls Ecru half haha thoughts on that with a deep green such as vintage vogue?

@@perrysrawsoul Hi Perry, I’m so glad my video was helpful! Ecru The color you’re considering is beautiful. However, before you start painting, it’s important to consider the other elements in your space. What kind of furniture do you have? Is your flooring wood, tile, or carpet? What undertone do they have?These details are crucial because they can influence how the paint color will look in your room and also what type of neutral would work the best. The great thing about beige with a green undertone is its versatility-it pairs well with various other undertones. That said, it’s hard for me to confidently say if this color will work perfectly in your space without knowing more about your existing fixed elements. Let me know a bit more, and I’d be happy to guide you further!

We are still thinking about the colour that we should paint the ceilings/cornice. Which Dulux white would work great? Is there anything that you could recommend?

Hi Aleksandra, I'm so happy to hear that my video was very helpful and that you now feel confident about your decision for your home paint colour. That is correct; for the ceiling, I do recommend Flat White ( Paint Product) -that's what it's called from Dulux colour vivid white, this colour has no undertone and its will bounce the light beautifully in your space. Because you have cornices, it is good to paint them in the same colour as the ceiling, as they create a subtle distinction between the wall and ceiling. If you didn't have any cornices, I would recommend Natural White on the ceiling as well. I hope this helps you. 🙏

The problem with natural white is the paint NEVER looks like the swatch. The swatch has this beautiful pink undertone which makes it a very neutral white, but as soon as the paint goes up on the wall, it throws yellow. We’ve tested it in various rooms under different lighting conditions.
@HomeColorTipsAndIdeas5 ай бұрын
@@ellalaird7162 hi Ella, you have a very good eye for color that is true soft whites which natural white belongs to have both pink and yellow undertone, but pink is the one that dominate the most. However, in your case, you can see more yellow undertone, which is telling me you have a very good eye for color, but the yellow undertone would also pop through, if you have wood flooring that has more yellow in it so I’m not sure what fixed elements you have in your house. They will also bring out the undertone in color because when you work with neutrals all these undertones come to light. Unfortunately, no one tells you that soft whites have both undertones but pink and yellow, but they do.
@ellalaird71625 ай бұрын
@@HomeColorTipsAndIdeas thanks for your response, I’m a designer and I get this same criticism from clients where we’ve sampled natural white. I think the issue with the colour is that Dulux hasn’t perfected their swatch to be reflective of the true natural white colour. The flooring is different in all properties I’ve worked in and the colour always throws yellow. In my own house, however, my flooring is a dark ash with a pinky-ochre undertone, so technically the wall should show the same difference as the swatch in your video, but all it does is accentuates the creaminess of natural white. I found that Haymes Bleached White is actually more true to the swatch of natural white, but only when purchased from the supplier - and not when colourmatched with another brand. It’s such a shame about natural white because the swatch of it is just perfection!
